Breathalyzers are substandard (video)

Police are using substandard breathalyzer balloons to determine if drivers are under the influence of liquor, says Thushara S. Daskon, a member of Lawyers for Good Governance.

These balloons do not conform to the standards set out by the police department, he says.

One of them is that the balloon itself should have the expiry date printed, not on a sticker, which is not in the case of the ones being used now.

Also, it is printed in these balloons that they cannot be used for legal purposes, he adds.
